Dang, right here in River City! This is more proof that widely available mail-in ballots are just too tempting for politicians to resist playing games with in an attempt to cheat their way into a win.

This has to do with a 2018 county commissioner election.

Another way to view this is that, at least in Texas, we find them and arrest them.

2018 PRIMARY? More likely a word to the wise-election season.

Somebody must have got cold feet and turned states evidence. I hope this starts scaring others to do the same.

Maybe. But it looks like the state is pretty serious about it:

In all, the State of Texas filed 134 felony charges against the four defendants with sentences ranging between six months in jail to 99 years in prison. The grand jury indicted Commissioner Brown on 23 felonies, Jackson on 97 felonies, Burns on eight felonies and Ward on six felonies.

Among the charges are:

Engaging in organized election fraud
Illegal voting
Fraudulent use of an application for a mail-in ballot
Unlawful possession of a mail-in ballot
Tampering with a government record
Election fraud”

This story is false. The media tells me that voter fraud doesn’t exist.

Actor Charlie Burns age 84, may have lots of experience in this ballot harvesting.

Will further investigation back to '16 reveal more?

Was the Hildabeast his favorite?

Hope so.
What would scare em even more is that big old tree outside the old courthouse in Goliad, TX. It’s been a long time just waiting for rope again.

Meanwhile, today, Wray says ‘no wide-spread voting fraud.

I guess the KEY word there is wide-spread.

I wish Wray had the guts to do a serious sit-down with Tom Fitton.

“Somebody must have got cold feet and turned states evidence.”

No, the election commissioner on the day of the election called fraud because of the large number of mail in ballots from one precinct. Also, the same names kept popping up as the person who “assisted” the elderly or disabled person who sent in the ballot. Further investigation proved that many of those elderly/disabled were young and healthy.

If you go to the site and scroll down past this story, you will find an awesome story and video of a protester laying in the street in Seattle and a cop using his head for a speedbump. Also, if you keep scrolling down, you will find a different version of the vote fraud story that includes perp pics. Three guesses as to the melanin content, and the first two don’t count.
